An interesting thing to note about that particular A-10 is the fake cockpit painted on the underbelly. The announcer at the show specifically called attention to it and said that it’s done to confuse the enemy as to the aircraft’s orientation.

Precisely why I asked. The Canadian Air Force is the only one I know of that routinely does this.

I went back to my photos and found the same bird on a slow speed pass, gear down. It looks like USAF insignia on the fuselage.
